Kale is tasty when sautéed with some garlic, but I’ve been hearing so much about kale chips, that I had to try for myself. Kale was super cheap at IGA on the weekend, so I bought a couple bunches and gave it a shot. These are so thin and crisp, so delicious! Most of them kept their deep green colour, which I liked, but those that browned a little were still fantastic. These can be easily flavoured, and I am going to try that with my next batch, but the simple salt and olive oil version was great for a first shot. Don’t be afraid of these, I was, crispy greens is not something that normally tickles my fancy, but this just seemed right.

Kale Chips

Three ingredients

• 1 head of kale
• 2 tbsps olive oil
• salt to taste (I used about 1 tsp)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 280°F
2. Wash your kale.
3. Cut away the… spine… of the kale leafs. Cut the kale into 2-3 inch pieces.
4. Place kale on a parchment-papered cookie tray, sprinkle with oil and toss to coat.
5. Sprinkle with salt, toss again to evenly salt.
6. Spread the pieces fairly evenly on the tray.
7. Cook for ten minutes, gently flip, cook for another 10. Devour.

Tossed in oil, ready for some salt (and spices in the future, check back next week!)

Munching time! Gen loved these.
